And So Did I

written by: Sapto Mitra

He said that we were bound,
And so did I,
But when I fell hard on the ground,
He would never cry.

He said the world rotates in us,
And so did I,
But when he learnt about my curse,
He would never sigh.

He said he will fetch me the moon,
And so will I,
But when he saw me dying soon,
He turned his eye.

He said that we’re meant to be forever,
And so had I,
But when I got a deadly fever,
He never came by.

While mentally he strolls along a warm California beach with his wife and golden retriever (shhh, she doesn't know she's a dog), physically they reside on a special little island in the Pacific Northwest.

Reaper by Sharon Frame Gay

As an orphaned son of an orphan, I always see the glass as half empty. I picture the water murky and lukewarm, a waterline etched below the rim. Maybe with an ash or two floating at the bottom, because that’s what I do for a living. I deal with ashes. The remains of the deceased. No matter how those who pass away see their glass, meager or full, they eventually end up in a satchel carried on my shoulder.
My business card reads “Morton Stark Transport.” I’m called upon to disperse the ashes of the dearly departed and honor their final wishes. People hire me to escort the remains throughout the world ...
